We are going to face an enormous rush of legislation coming up to Christmas. Before I provoke a storm of abuse from the Leader, I should say that I am not attacking Fine Gael or the Government, as this has happened during the entire 32 years of my membership of this House. Every year, there is a dearth and then suddenly everything comes in at the last minute and is hurried and rushed through before Christmas. We should sit down and try to order legislative business in a more logical, orderly fashion.
